Abstract: Category theory plays a key role on the unification of results and clarification of their essence, on simplification of proofs, and on the conception of new ideas. This talk intends to present, to a general mathematical audience, instances of each of these facets, having as common ground the study of topological groups and continuous group homomorphisms.
